1 Department of Information Systems and Cyber Security The Department of Information Systems and Cyber Security offers two undergraduate degree programs: one with a major in Information Systems and one with a major in Cyber Security (which is also offered 00 percent online). For admission requirements for the online B.B.A. degree in Cyber Security, please visit The Department offers minors in Cyber Security, Digital Forensics, Information Systems, and Network and Data Center Management which are open to all majors in the University. In addition, the Department offers a minor in Technology Management for nonbusiness majors. A Certificate in Pathogenic Outbreak Investigations is also offered in collaboration with the Departments of Biology and Computer Science in the College of Sciences. Department Honors The Department of Information Systems and Cyber Security offers the opportunity for certain of its outstanding students to achieve the designation of Honors in Major and provides the opportunity for advanced study under close faculty supervision. Selection for Honors designation is based on the student s academic performance and recommendation by the Department Undergraduate Program Committee (UPC) in consultation with the faculty of the student s major discipline. To be eligible for the designation, students must have a minimum overall grade point average of.0 at UTSA and a minimum grade point average of.5 in their major. To enroll in honors thesis courses and to graduate with the Honors designation, these minimum grade point averages must be maintained. Students applying for Honors in Major are expected to enroll in the appropriate honors thesis course during the final two semesters. The completed honors thesis must be approved by the supervising faculty sponsor from the student s discipline and the UPC. Students interested in this program should contact the Department Chair for additional information. Major honors can be obtained independent of, or in addition to, University Honors. In order to have departmental honors noted on the transcript, students must submit a letter of request for departmental honors to the Department Chair by Census Date of their last semester.
